Alternate title, "Are we there yet?"
How far along? 38 weeks.
Total weight gain? +31 pounds
Maternity clothes? The above shirt was an emergency purchase I made a month or two ago after I spilled (half-caf) coffee down the front of my white shirt at the beginning of a shopping trip to Target. I panicked, pulled a shirt off of the rack, and put it on, and made the guy the register scan me while I was still wearing it. Desperate times, ya know.
Stretch marks? No
Symptoms? I'll have some sort of pain in my stomach and I'll think, "Is this finally a contraction??" but no, I then realize it's the baby's foot in my rib or just indigestion. That and the usual suspects: heartburn, swelling, carpal tunnel.
Sleep: I think I sleep in about 2 hour intervals now before the pain in my side wakes me up and forces me to flip over. Eventually though, both sides will hurt so I just have to choose which one hurts less.
Best moment this week: Finishing up all those last things I really wanted done before the baby came. Anything else I get done at this point it just gravy.
Miss anything? My old waistline. Even though I know that I won't be like this forever, it's still hard to not think that way.
Movement: I still feel the baby moving but it's definitely more cramped in there.
Gender: TBD.
Labor Signs: None
Belly button in or out? Out.
Exercise: Shuffle/walks a couple times a week. It's a shorter route now but it does seem to be easier for me to get out there since it's less daunting. I might add some more straight up walks too in hopes of moving things along. I'm starting to get impatient here!
Looking forward to: Meeting Baby W. I just have to keep reminding myself, even though it could happen any day, it's still early yet.
